Death of u Great Man.
Died in Brooklyn, March, 8, 1887, in
His "a Year, of Paralysis.

Few men of our age was more
widely and intimately known than
Henry w. Beecher, the pastor of
the Brooklyn Tabernacle for near
half century. Had he lived till
September of this year he would
have completed fifty years of pas
toral labor, near forty of which
was in this one church, rendered
famous for the simple reason that
Mr.. Beecher, more than quarter
of century ago, from its pulpit,
hurled his invectives against ne
gro slavery, in terms so glowing
that they awakened an interest in
millions of minds and constituted
him the great Apostle of anti-slav-
cry. 1t was in this great struggle
of giant minds that he first attain
ed to eminence.
The strong hold he had attained
and held in the affections of his
congregation may be best measur-
ed by their persistent adherences
to his person and cause during a
time of as great trial as ever fell
to the lot of a man of his promin-
ence in this or any other country.
1t is true that during the past
few years Mr.. Beecher rendered
himself somewhat unpopular in
Orthodox minds by reason of his
avowed liberal views in matters of
religion and the future state.
In politics Mr.. Beecher was first
an Abolitionist and next a Republi-
can, but in 1854 with his usual in
dependence he repudiated the can
didacy of Mr.. Blaine and endorsed
that of Cleveland.
In the near half century of his
active life, the civalized world list
ened to his voice and not unfre-
quently regulated its conduct with
the creations of his gigantic intel
lect. No man of his time has filed
Il more prominent space in the his
tory of our country. We cannot
more fittingly close this sketch than
in the language of popular author
on the same subject. who writes as
follows:
"The lesson of Mr.. Beecher's life
is, that American society is so
thoroughly organized upon its do
mestic foundations that it admits
of nothing latitudinarian; that the
moral influence of man is his
strongest possession; that talents,
however remarkable, will shiver
themselves to pieces upon the or
ganized structure which has been
bequeathed and built up through
many generations. We know no
more of Jesus than we did before
Mr.. Beecher lived. He has sue
ceeded in writing his name in
large characters upon the land, but
what the significance of that name
is, what differences posterity will
draw from it are left to conjecture.
Not improbably his one suspect
ed lapse from domestic verify will
preserve his reputation after his
intellectual performances are for
gotten, The oldest book continues
to be that of our human nature, the
longest lessons are still those of
temptation"

world for another where sickness
was not known, he was waiting for
the Masters call and peacefully
fell asleep. His remains was fol-
lowed to their last resting place in
the Disciple Cemetery by many
symathizing friends. The funeral
services was conducted by Rev. l..
c. Sparks of South Perry. The
sermon was delivered in language
both beautiful and instructive.
"Wccp for the husband that will not care
For the father gone from heart and
home,
For n missing step, nameless grace,
OF tender voice, loving face,
But not for the soul whose goal Is won.
Whose infinite JOY has just b9gqn."

An American Girls Triumph.

The ceremony of defending a thesis
is the final exercise which is cxacted
of Il Partisan medical student prepare
tory to receiving the college diploma.
The occasion always draws together
the friends of the student, and is gen
orally fringed and v~ariegated with fun
and frolic, with gifts of flowers, and
with Il complimentary dinner to the
new made doctor of medicine. But
the chief feature of this day is a severe
examination of the candidates by the
college bigwigs who sit in solemn state,
%arrayed in red silk gowns and wearing
scarlet caps. The candidate, whether
male or female, is dressed in q black
gown with a white fichu. And when
Miss Bradley stepped into the arena,
clad in this traditional garb, the
general comment of the audience was:
How like Portia in the trial scene
of the Merchant of Venice"
1t was known to Miss Bradley's
college mates and other friends that
her thesis would be on ''Iodism," and
that she had taken a year to write
an elaborate book on the subject,
which will soon be republished in Eng
land from the original French. For
an hour and a half she was questioned
with great shrewdness and ability by
four of the leading professors of the
Ecole de Medecine-Drs. Fournier,
Gautier, Porchet, and Robin. Each
of these gentlemen had previously re-
ceived a copy Of Miss Bradlcy's bold
book, and they had brought their
copies to the examining room with
multidinous interrogation marks on
the margins, showing that the new
treatise had not only been carefully
read, but had excited much curiosity
and attention. Miss Bradley had the
great advantage of an u~nhackneyed
theme, which she skilfully illustrated
by a numerous array Of unfamiliar
facts.
Her triumph was of a very peculiar
character. Her four examiners said
to her, with admiring f~rankness:
You have been working a new
field; we cannot agree with many of
your conclusions; further investigation
may lead either yourself or us to differ
ent views; but, meanwhile you have
presented to the college a thesis which
does you uncommon honor, and for
which we unanimously award you the
maximum mark of merit
After the announcement of the award,
Miss Bradley was entertained ut dinner
by Miss Augusta klumpke, the first
female physician who has even been
admitted to practice in the hospitals of
Paris. Both these ladies are Americans
Miss KIumpke from San Francisco,
ard Miss Bradley from New York.
The grandfather of the latter, Henry
Bradley, was once a candidate for the
G~overnorship of the Empire State; her
father, Ogden Bradley, is a banker,
and the Right Reverend Bishop Nealy
of Maine is her uncle.-PUtS6urg Dis

and who could get to heaven PRAYING
and singing in their own homes. 1t is
on the beach to help the drowning.
Those bad cases are the cases that God
likes to take hold of. He can save II
big sinner as well as a sm all sinner,
and when a man calls earnestly to God
for help he will 90 out to deliver such
a one. If it were necessary God would
come down from the sky, followed by
all the artillery of heaven and a mil
lion angels with drawn swords. Get
one hundred such redeemed men IN
each of your churches, and nothing
could stand before them, for such men
are generally w~arm-hearted and enthu-
siastic. No formal prayers then. No
heartless singing then. No cold con-
ventionalisms then.
II STREET URCHIN.
Furthermore. the destitute children
OF the street offer a field of work COM
paratively ~uroccupied. The uncared
for children are in the majority in
Brooklyn and most of our cities. When
they grow up. if unreformed, they will
eutvote your children, and they will
govern your children. The whisky
ring will hatch out other whisky rings,
and grog-shops will kill with their hor-
rid stencil public ~sobriety, unless the
church of God rises up with out
stretched arms and enfolds this dying
population in her bosom. Puolic
schools caLnot do it. Art galleries
cannot do it. Blackwell's Island can
not do it. Almshouses cannot do it.
New York tombs and Raymond street
cannot do it. Church of God, wake
up to your magnificent mission! You
can do it. Get somewhere, somehow
to work.

Watered at Once.

The Tn ed States Express Company
has bought the Baltimore and Ohio Ex-
press outright foI two millions. 1t
then increases its stock from 81. 600, 900
to 100000, 900. BY "a turn of the wrist
the two millions has become three. To
hold this at par requires one of two
things, or both-that expense be di-
minisbed, or rates increased. The
first is certain-fewer offices will do
the work. But unless the reduction of
the expenses equals one-tenth of the
net receipts Of both companies, before
the purchase, the rates must advance
to keep the stock in place. That the
saving should be SO great is absurd on
its face. Where competition does not
intervene the rates will 60 up. and
shippers will pay nor expressage to
make the two millions equal three in
m~oney-getting power. This is a
familiar and simple illustration of the
watering process .-Chicago Herald.

An AID propriate Pose.

Norwich Bulletin: One of the first
things which a sculptor does is to
choose the pose to be represented IN
the statute he is to model. The signi-
ficance of the completed work depends
greatly upon this choice. Sidney
Moses, the Boston sculptor, has select
ed a striking posture for a statuett of
President Cleveland, which he has Just
modelled. The president is represented
standing, with his right hand at his
side holding a slip of paper and with
his left hand behind him. The slip of
paper is probably a copy of George
William Curtis criticism of Maryland
politics., and the left hand is presuma-
bly, feeling for the presidents back
bone. The conception is a happy one.

In 1860 Dakota produced 845 bush
els of wheat. In 1870 the yield had
grown to l70,6 62 bushels. In 1880 the
yield was 1880, 2S9 bushels. During
the next five years great development
was had and in 1885 the yield was 49,
l66,413 bushels. 1t is estimated that
10000, 900 bushels was produced this
year, or more than one-tenth of the
entire wheat crop of the United States
in 1886. Such rapid development
was probably never before known. 1t
has been proven beyond contradiction
that corn car grow in Dakota. In
1880 there were only 20, 1869 bushels of
corn raised and in 1887 the yield had
increased, it is estimated, to 80, 900, 900
bushels. In 1860 the value of live
stock was only $37,l16. To-day the
live stock in the territory is valued at
$43, 195, 229. There are 4,246 miles of
railway in the territory, or more than
in any one of twenty-six states. Since
the first of January about 700 miles of
completed track have been added to
the railway mileage in the the terri
tory.
